Internal communication: 5 concrete things you can do to improve communication within your company
Good internal communication doesnât happen by accident â itâs built through clear routines, the right tools, and a culture of openness.
Here are five practical ways to strengthen your companyâs internal communication â starting today.
1. Create clear communication channels
If information is spread across email, chat, SMS, and project tools, things easily fall through the cracks.
Define which channels are used for what â for example:
- Chat for daily updates and quick questions
- Email for external communication
- Channels in your communication platform (like lynes) for projects and departments
Having clear guidelines helps everyone know where to find information and how to reach each other.
2. Encourage transparency and openness
When information is shared openly, collaboration improves.
Use team channels for discussions and updates so that everyone sees whatâs happening â instead of relying on private messages or long email threads.
Transparency builds trust, reduces misunderstandings, and helps new employees get up to speed faster.
3. Establish routines for feedback and follow-up
Communication isnât complete until youâve confirmed that everyone understood.
Create simple routines for feedback:
- Summarize decisions at the end of meetings
- Follow up on action points directly in your communication tool
- Celebrate results and milestones openly â it boosts motivation
4. Integrate tools and systems
When your chat, telephony, and project management tools talk to each other, communication flows naturally.
For example, with lynes, you can combine phone calls, video meetings, and chat in one place â no need to jump between apps or lose context.
Integrated systems save time and reduce the risk of missing important information.
5. Lead by example
Good communication starts at the top.
Managers and team leads who share updates regularly, respond clearly, and use the same tools as everyone else set the tone for the entire organization.
Show what transparent communication looks like â others will follow.
Summary:
Improving internal communication isnât about adding more tools â itâs about using the right ones in the right way.
By defining channels, promoting openness, setting routines, integrating systems, and leading by example, youâll create a culture where information flows freely and collaboration feels natural.
